How do we keep on working for change in tough political and economic times, and overcome the political demoralization, frustration, and paralysis, that so many people are feeling these days? Paul Loeb, author of the bestselling books on citizen involvement Soul of a Citizen: Living With Conviction in Challenging Times and The Impossible Will Take a Little While: A Citizen’s Guide to Hope in a Time of Fear will explore how ordinary citizens can make their voices heard and actions count in a time when we're told neither matter. He’ll talk about how people get involved in larger community issues and what stops them from getting involved; how they burn out in exhaustion or maintain their commitment for the long haul; what we can learn from the citizen movements of the past.
